Al is one of the greatest living songwriters and musicians you have probably never heard of. After a really rough patch recently he seems to be heading back out on the road.

He is one of the most genuine and honest people I have ever met, let alone gotten to know (we don't talk on the phone or anything but I would call him an acquaintance).

This is from a few years ago, my friend .vek and i went to Lynagh's in Lexington, KY for what was Al's last show at Lynagh's.
